It has happened to everyone not to remember the name of a person, maybe that has just been presented with you. A study by the University of Manchester that published the data in the journal Cerebral Cortex, analyzed about 40 patients suffering from severe forms of epilepsy, to which an area of the brain was removed to reduce the manifestations of epileptic seizures.
